TRINITY

Death, Scene 7

1975. Emperor is alone. Night. Addis Ababa.
EMPEROR
She passed away.

Ethiopia is no more.

Now it's my turn to die.

TAFARI
I am ready. What do I do now?

EMPEROR
You accept it, the fate, all -- good and bad... and than you fight for it. And ask for nothing.

TAFARI
But how do I know my fate, father?

EMPEROR
I am not your father. I am you.

TAFARI
How should I call you?

EMPEROR
How do you call yourself?

TAFARI
I don't.

EMPEROR
I am your fate (points at RAS) and his too... Very much like you're my fate.

TAFARI
I don't want you to die.

EMPEROR
I know that you do not want to die.

RAS
All die. Think how should you die your death.

Now we are together.

(WOMAN sings) What about her?

She has to live.

How would she live without you?
